Together, We Make a Difference
In life’s ever-changing dynamic, one thing remains constant — the power of community. As we move through the fall and winter seasons, it’s important to remember those who may be facing greater needs. Small acts of generosity can make a meaningful difference, and there are many opportunities right here in the Western White Mountains to lend a helping hand. No matter how big or small, every effort counts. From donating food or coats to simply checking in on a neighbor, your kindness helps our community thrive. Now more than ever, compassion and connection are what keep the Western White Mountains strong. Scroll down to see how you can get involved and give back this season.
The Bridge Project Coat Drive
The Bridge Project NH is collecting gently used and new winter coats, hats, gloves, and boots for children and adults in our community.

Drop-off locations are available at several community spots throughout the area. Donate now through December 15th.
Drop-off Locations:
White Mountain Pickleball Club
Daydreams Hair & Nail Studio
RiverWalk Resort at Loon Mountain
